System for Training and Deploying Filters for Encoding and Decoding

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each filter is configured to generate the output bitstream for the filter by applying a set of trained parameters to the input bitstream.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein each filter is also associated with a respective node compatibility attribute that identifies a respective subset of node types having hardware specifications compatible with the filter.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the plurality of filters are compatible for installation on a plurality of node types each identified with a node identifier (node ID), and the node compatibility attribute for the filter are the node identifiers for the respective subset of node types that are compatible with the filter.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bitstream types is each identified with a bitstream identifier (bitstream ID), and the bitstream compatibility attribute for the filter are the bitstream identifiers for the respective subset of bitstream types compatible with the filter.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of filters includes at least one encoder filter trained in conjunction with at least one decoder filter, and wherein the output streams generated by the at least one encoder filter is a bitstream type that is compatible as an input stream to the at least one decoder filter.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising assigning a filter identifier to each filter that is unique to the filter.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the information included in the input stream is video content, and the operation is one or more modifications to image frames of the video content.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein each filter is trained as a pair of filters to perform the operation in conjunction as a pair, the pair including an encoder filter and a decoder filter, and the selection of the filter between the encoder and the decoder is based on the type of bitstream.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein each filter is configured to generate the output bitstream for the filter by applying a set of trained parameters to the input bitstream.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein each filter is also associated with a respective node compatibility attribute that identifies a respective subset of node types having hardware specifications compatible with the filter.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the plurality of filters are compatible for installation on a plurality of node types each identified with a node identifier (node ID), and the node compatibility attribute for the filter are the node identifiers for the respective subset of node types that are compatible with the filter.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the plurality of bitstream types is each identified with a bitstream identifier (bitstream ID), and the bitstream compatibility attribute for the filter are the bitstream identifiers for the respective subset of bitstream types compatible with the filter.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the plurality of filters includes at least one encoder filter trained in conjunction with at least one decoder filter, and wherein the output streams generated by the at least one encoder filter is a bitstream type that is compatible as an input stream to the at least one decoder filter.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the information included in the input stream is video content, and the operation is one or more modifications to image frames of the video content.
